Topic > What really happened to the dinosaurs? - 709

There has always been a dispute between science and religion. It's something that can't be avoided, and they are the same in many ways. Most people don't understand why they have to fight all the time about who is right and who is wrong. When it comes to things like dinosaurs, there's going to be some sort of brawl because no one really knows what happened to them. The religious view indicates that Adam's sin was the reason the dinosaurs were wiped out. The scientific view is that there was a catastrophic asteroid impact that caused them to become extinct. Both are similar because the dinosaurs were wiped out in one way or another. Scientists often sometimes think that the existence of dinosaurs and their disappearance are so shrouded in mystery, that people will never know what happened to them. According to scientists, dinosaurs first evolved about 235 million years ago, long before humans evolved. No humans lived when the dinosaurs were alive. The only way to have any clues about what they looked like and how they lived is all in the fossil layers beneath the Earth's surface. However, around 65 million years everything changed to the point of causing the extinction of those wonderful animals. Most scientists believe that an asteroid hit Earth and wiped them out. But there is a new theory, Professor Gerta Keller, who is also a paleontologist, wrote that while her theory may not be as compelling as a huge space object hitting Earth, it answers questions that she said didn't seem to fit to the “wipeout theory” that has been publicized since the early 1980s. The theory that was burned into our minds was that a single asteroid involved the Chicxulub crater on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Keller's study involves much of the study of rock formations above and below the C...... middle of paper...... too bad, otherwise a climate change is not always worth it. Why can't we just admit that they were wiped out, we are finding their remains, And that's it. So until scientists really understand what happened to the dinosaurs, we'll just have to continue arguing and discovering new things about them. So, what do you think about what really happened to the dinosaurs? Is the Bible making it up that they were so called Dino back in the day or is that true and they were? Or is science trying to make us dizzy with the known catastrophic asteroid impact? All we can do is sit back and wait for science or religion to come up with something more exciting.
